I don’t like when people say that. Their plan is all about chance. Sure anything can go wrong but that is why you always make a back up lan. Her plan sounds like her only plan. I won’t lie it makes me nervous. Regardless of my feelings I need to convince her to convince Enna. So I will hear her plan out. Who knows, it might be better than I think.

“I can tell you want to use an Elf wife to prove that goblins can be accepted in a nation. So you me. Make me your second wife now. I will accept goblins as equals.” She said in the same stoic voice.

What the hell!? Why does this world have shotgun weddings? I thought a week was too fast. Then this girl says let’s tie the knot now! I don’t even know here name and she wants to get married? How does this even benefit her?

“I don’t even know your name and you want to get married? Plus, I thought a week was too fast but now you want to get married. I don’t even have enough time to think about my feelings.” I said holding my hand on my face.

“I have been with Enna all the time around you. She has said my name multiple times. Women don’t like it when you don’t catch on quickly.” She said with her eyes closed.

I got up and slammed my hands on the desk. Then raised my right hand and pointed at her. “How does the act of, ow!” I slammed my hands a bit to hard.

Hmph, the girl snickered a little bit. “It makes sense if you think about it. You need an elf of high standing to accept a goblin. Once she does then the other nations will be backed in a corner.

If an elf especially a female vouchs for him. Then the guests will have to believe that our nation is innocent. Your plan is simple.” The girl smirked like a fox.

Yeah that is the plan. I do have a plan if worst comes to worst. If it goes perfectly then what she explained will be what happens. Sure, it is simple it needs to be. The more complex a plan is the larger the room for error is. That is why I like to keeps things simple. It reminds me of what a friend that played football said to me.

If you encounter this tale on Amazon, note that it's taken without the author's consent. Report it.

He said something his coach said all the time. Keep It Simple Stupid. Since I heard this I have been making sure I do not make things complex. By keeping it simple even stupid people can understand how to do things.

“Keeping things simple makes it so simpletons can carry out the mission or order. I try to makes things very simple. So simple that even babies would understand what I am saying. If a simpleton can’t understand something a baby would then they are the one at fault.” When I said that the girl immediately narrowed her eyes. It wasn’t an insult, but I think she took it that way.

“My name is Evie. Jerk face ruler.” Evie said. Is that her name? The way she pronounced the name reminded me of a fictional beasts from back home. It was a cute creature that I favored a lot.

“Well then, Evie. Let’s say we do get married. How does that benefit you? This seems fishy.” I said slouching in my chair.

“In multiple ways in fact. For starters, special treatment from others. Queens and princesses get special treatment from their subjects. I always dreamed about getting such attention.” Evie said with a slight smile. The only time I ever saw her make any type of emotion on her face.

“Is that the only thing girls think about?” I said making a snide remark.

“Why do boys only think about war and sex?” Evie said as her smile disappears. Damn, she got me there. When guys hang out our talks always somehow get to that point. The conversation comes faster when we are drunk.

“Is there any other way it benefits you? I cannot imagine that is the only thing. You laughed at me wanting to keeps things simple. Meaning you are a complex person. Always hiding something inbetween the lines.” I cannot help, but extract information. Is being treated nicely the only reason for getting married? No, way it is that simple.

“It would also ease Enna’s almost broken heart.” She said with her eyes closed. Almost broken heart? I didn’t see her sad at all. I have only seen slight sadness when a glass or two breaks. Is her heart really almost broken?

“I don’t get it at all. Her almost broken heart? She seems fine to me.” I said bluntly. When I finish talking she gave a big sigh. Which made me mad. What did I say to make you give an arrogant sigh?

I can almost assume she will say something regarding to how long we been together. It is hard to say you know someone if you only known them for a month. I would agree since I know little of Enna. I know something things she likes and dislikes. I don’t know how she thinks. I won’t really know how she thinks unless I spend my hole life figuring it out. Even then since I am a man and she is a woman. I may never truly understand how the mind of a girl works.
